week 3 eoc: tobacco advertisement

 
the ethics shown or not shown in this ad of santa smoking are very poor.were do even start with this ad well lets start with the fact that they have santa smoking knowing very well thatsanta is a huge child figure. kids look up to him, in aolt of way someone can see this as a ads aimed at kids at least thats how we would see this now a days and like most ads from the 50s and 60s this ad would never fly now. and because the tobacco companys will do anything to sell their product this is what the FDA did to help.
 
"Limit color and design of packaging and advertisements, including audio-visual advertisements.
Ban tobacco product sponsorship of sporting or entertainment events under the brand name of cigarettes or smokeless tobacco.
Ban free samples of cigarettes and brand-name non-tobacco promotional items."
